The Accidental Launch Countdown

Content I work in IT, which is the reason our house has: - mechanical locks - mechanical windows - routers using OpenWRT - no smart home crap -no AlexaGoogle Assistant.. - no internet connected thermostats Tech Enthusiasts: Everything in my house is wired to the Internet of Things! I control it all from my smartphone! My smart-house is bluetooth enabled and I can give it voice commands via alexa! I love the future! Programmers Engineers: The most recent piece of technology I own is a printer from 2004 and I keep a loaded gun ready to shoot it if it ever makes an unexpected noise.

So Discord's brilliant solution to their memory leak problem is... turning it off and on again? REVOLUTIONARY! Instead of actually fixing why their app is devouring RAM like a starving hippo at an all-you-can-eat buffet, they just implemented a hard reset when it crosses 4GB. That's not optimization, that's just automated panic mode! It's like your car engine overheating, so instead of fixing the cooling system, you just install a mechanism that automatically turns the car off every time it gets too hot. Sure, technically it prevents the engine from exploding, but you're still stranded on the highway every 20 minutes. Genius engineering right there! Someone really looked at this memory leak, shrugged, and said "Have we tried just... restarting it?" And somehow that made it to production. The absolute audacity of calling this a "failsafe" when it's literally just admitting defeat to your own memory management.

Accidentally launching full Visual Studio instead of VS Code is like preparing for a quick code edit but suddenly finding yourself strapped into a space shuttle. The 51-year loading time isn't even an exaggeration—you could practically evolve a new programming language while waiting for all those enterprise features to initialize. Meanwhile, your RAM is crying in the corner as Visual Studio consumes every available resource like a black hole devouring nearby stars. The perfect misclick that transforms a 10-second task into an unplanned coffee break.
